Like all extremists, Warmists refuse to consider evidence that undermines their beliefs. Unfortunately, our President is one such fanatic. Today, Sarah Palin hit Obama hard on his extremism:
President Obama still seeks to create a federal office for global warming.
Sadly this plan is largely a fait accompli. For example, the imaginary health threats of global warming are being used by Obama’s Lefty-infested CDC as a pretext for expanding its […]

PALIN POUNDS OBAMA ON WARMIST POLICIES
KATHLEEN SEBELIUS AND HHS GOING ROGUE
The Secretary of Health and Human Services has no authority over the private health insurance industry, which is regulated by the states, but that hasn’t prevented Kathleen Sebelius from sticking her bureaucratic nose in its business.
Last week, she wrote a letter to Anthem Blue Cross of California demanding that it “provide a detailed justification” for a proposed rate increase, […]
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE? WE’RE ALREADY HALF WAY THERE!
While the debate over “reform” has raged at town hall meetings, on talk radio, in the MSM and the blogosphere, the bureaucrats have been quietly implementating government-run health care:
For the first time, government programs next year will account for more than half of all U.S. health-care spending.
The advance is slow but sure: In 2005, the government’s share of […]
OBAMACARE GIVES IRS BROAD NEW POWERS
If you’re under the impression that Democrat health “reform” will only affect your medical care, think again. Among Obamacare’s scariest features is its dramatic expansion of IRS power:
Internal Revenue Service agents already try to catch tax cheats and moonshiners. Under the proposed health care legislation, they would get another assignment: checking to see whether Americans […]
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD RUN HEALTH CARE?
Many observers, including a large contingent of Obots covering for the President, have blamed the Flight 253 terrorism incident on Janet Napolitano—-and she is indeed incompetent.
But Napolitano is just a symptom. The disease is government bureaucracy. Emmett Tyrrell summarizes the multiple failures of our Homeland Security apparatchiks in the American Spectator:
All failed repeatedly to recognize the threat that this terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (VI)
OK. Enough of this “good will toward men” stuff. Back to pounding progressives. This week’s dumbest post award goes, once again, to the Washington Post’s most oblivious blogger, Ezra Klein.
His post defending the indefensible Nelson bribe shows Klein to be generally clueless concerning how the Medicaid program works, but this is just garden-variety naïveté for a progressive blogger.
What earned Klein the dumbest post prize is his […]
VACCINE RECALL: GOV’T HEALTH PREVIEW
All you need to know about the competency of the federal government to manage health care is encapsulated in the pig’s breakfast (ahem) they have made of the H1N1 pandemic. Today we learned about yet another snafu:
Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough […]
OBAMACARE: BUREAUCRATS MAKING LAW
Barack Obama’s promise to fix U.S. health care was no doubt one of the reasons he was elected President by such a comfortable margin. It is unlikely, however, that many of the voters realized he intended to give government bureaucrats the power to make law. Nonetheless, the President and his congressional accomplices have inserted language into their health “reform” legislation […]
WHY NO ONE BUYS THE “DEFICIT NEUTRAL” BS
Jeff Goldsmith points out that virtually no one believed President Obama when he promised to enact health care “reform” without adding to the federal budget deficit:
A mid-November Quinnipiac poll found that only 19% of Americans and 35% of his own political party believe health reform will not add to the deficit.
He then goes on to explain […]
55 BILLION REASONS TO JUST SAY NO
The Office of Management and Budget just issued a report proving (for anyone susceptible to objective data) that government-run health care is a monumentally bad idea:
Improper payments in the Medicare and Medicaid programs totaled $55 billion in fiscal 2009, according to documents provided by OMB.
Medicare and Medicaid, our progressive friends tell us, are the most […]
